The original mill in West qholv ►eford of the Sugden Press Bagging Company; started by Thomas Sugden in Lowell c. 1870, to make a cloth which would extract the oil from flax, cotton, castor, mustard, and other oil bearing seed. The cloth was made from various wools and camel hair. The business was carried en by Mr. Sugden first in Lowell, then in Graniteville, and back to Lowell, until his death in 1888, when a partnership was formed under the present name to carry it on. The business moved to West Chelmsford in 1893 and this mill was built on the site of the old Eagle Mill (wool processing). The partnership formed was that of Thomas Sugden, Allen Craven and James brown. me mill was enlarged in 1903 and incorporated in 1904 by the Abbot Worsted Co., with Donald Cameron in charge. It was again enlarged in 1913. The cloth was used mostly in the South and Soutn- west, as well as in Canada, Mexico and the Phil- ippine Islands. A large amount of it was also used in the making or analine dyes, and for press- ing cocoa beans. Some residents of west UnelAstera remember the trucks arriving from the Hershey Chocolate Co. in Hershey, Pa. to purchase the round camel hair pads through which the chocolate was strained to give it smoothness.

This picture was painted c. 1898 by by Jennie S. Brown, wife of James Brown, and mother of the donor. Miss Bernice M. Brown 5 School Street - West Chelmsford, Mass. 01863

SADDLE BELONGING TO DR. ARTHUR GILNCRE SCOBORIA

He was a family doctor in Chelmsford, Carlisle, Westford and Billerica from 1897 until shortly before his death, December 28, 1950.

Dr. Scoboria attended the South C h elmsford school, Chelmsford High School, Lowell Commercial College (1890), Tufts Medical School, M. D. 1895. Thought the standards were too low, so attended Harvard Medical School, M. D. 1898. The fact that Harvard would not give him credit for his Tufts courses bore out his contention about low standards. He opened an office in the Odd Fellows Building in Central Square, Chelmsford Center, in 1897. Married Mary Eiden Bartlett in 1905 and moved to their new house on Adams Avenue beside the Adams Library, and had his office in his house. He was on the staff of the Corporation Hospital (1897 - 8), and St. Joseph's Hospital (1928 - 50), President of the Middlesex North Medical Soc- iety (1929 - 30), School Physician and Board of Health Physician, member of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia Cavalry for about ten years, with the rank of Captain the last two years. • 70.54
